Severe thunderstorms headed our way

Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, June 12, 2015

Here's a weather update from AEP:

Severe thunderstorms containing damaging wind gusts to 60 mph will threaten portions of AEP Ohio and I&M Power this afternoon into early tonight. A hot, humid, and increasingly unstable air mass is in place over the region. An approaching upper-level disturbance and cold front will trigger the storms.

AEP meteorologists have identified two elevated risk areas:
• Northeast Ohio...primarily from western Ohio across the Canton District. A line of thunderstorms should develop and intensify over western Ohio early this afternoon, then track east. Numerous wind gusts to 60 m.p.h. will be the main threat.
